When I've shopped for speakers, mostly low end, the salesmen have always pitched certain speakers as "good for rock". Often, this makes me cringe, because they are talking about a speaker with a weak midrange tuned for higher bass output.

So, what does make a great rock speaker? Tight bass? Does a dip in the midrange actually help (are the salesmen right)? Dynamic response above all else?

Any pair of studio monitors and just about any price point. They are used by the biggest stars in the very best recording studios and also the latest indie bands in the cheapest basement studios.

If you are looking for the "standard" get an old pair of Yamaha NS-10 monitors. They won't sound beautiful, but almost every mix on the planet is run through a pair to test if it will sound good on most consumer equipment. They are considered to be stronger in the mids than the ends.
